The hardest matchup to pick is Geor’quarius Spivey vs. Lionel Pimpin. And I could see either of them making a run past the Sweet 16.

Revenues are up, but are profits? Do shareholders want a greater return on expenses? What is going on with Japan and Russia that is causing them to ramp down operations there?  They have to boost revenue and trim fat.  Cutting devs limits your ability to boost revenue more than cutting marketing people.  

Here’s the thing, GOATS is as much the execution as it is the composition.  When I play OW and people are saying “PICK GOATS” it’s like, sometimes the individual players who aren’t part of a team know their roles, and it kind of works.  But it takes a ton of coordination and practice to play and effectively counter. …

From my understanding, the German model (sometimes called Rhenish Capitalism) with a Works Council that elects a member of the board of directors, and must be consulted on corporate policy changes.  They are not a union, but do co-exist with unions, and compliment each other, as well as the company.

I don’t make them much anymore, and my recipe is pretty loose, but not a closely guarded secret, mostly in ratios.

I think the biggest issues with it IS the fact that it’s a manifesto. If it was more actionable where funds were allocated for imperatives, and broad goals like “decrease carbon emissions” had goals within them like, “increase wind power capacity by doing X,” I could see this being an easier sell.

Leaders of men!

When Ichiro came over to MLB, I was in the throes of Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball.  I had a league with friends from my class I had in high school (I think it was like, HTML or web design or something) where we had a fantasy league.  Ichiro was my “secret weapon” that year, because nobody thought a scrawny, unproven,…

Eh, I don’t think that’s how it went. Poor animations, and unevenly executed story with characters that weren’t super easy to love, were big drivers of this. The combat was actually pretty OK, but a lot of the systems, everything we built up in the original trilogy was lost in this new world, and the “choices…

Prime Video is a freebie if you already have Prime. But HBO is $15, Netflix is $15 if you want to stream it appropriately on a 4K TV, Hulu I think is $11 or $12 if you want the ad-free version (which I do), more if you wanted to add like, Showtime (lulz) to your Hulu package. So now you’re getting close to a basic…

Re: Toxicity. They’ve done such a good job with it on YouTube comments!

If you get a nice, thick, bone-in pork chop (that comes with all the requisite fat) you won’t have to worry as much about drying out a chop.  

Yes, let’s bury something that doesn’t biodegrade in our backyards full of dead animals.  That sounds like the best thing.  And other animals that have great senses of smell will definitely not still smell it though a flimsy garbage bag and try to dig it up anyway.  Fool proof!

If everybody walked instead of standing still, everybody would get up faster.

Ankle socks are fine, but not with dress shoes. Who wears ankle socks with dress shoes? Serial killers, mostly. Especially white ankle socks. Longer socks (not the obnoxious tube socks you’d get in a pack of 29 for $2) are fun though. A few years ago they got rid of the tie requirement at my office. Then you started…

Sports ticker scrolls are useless.  Do THE YOUTHS look at them when they see them on screen?  I know when I see when, I look at them out of habit, because thats what you used to have to do when you didn’t have a miniature computer in your pocket at all times.  

So did I actually.  I remember the first grainy videos I saw of him online where he was throwing frozen ropes from RF were just incredible.

Public health is an important issue and things that degrade public health slowly over time should have to include in their cost the fact that they impact public health.  Soda is a public health issue.

The one thing I’ll say about HBO, is that a lot of its content is actually worth subscribing to.  There is a lot of really good stuff there.  The movies are usually bad though.

Yeah, FX shows are harder to get.  I think they are on Hulu, mostly though.  Eastbound is obviously part of the HBO catalogue.  But then you start getting a higher streaming bill because you’re subscribing to multiple services.
